Brit dad mourns loss of 11 family members killed in Gaza

HEARTBROKEN: The dad-of-two first heard about the attack on Facebook [SG]

Musheir El-Farra’s relatives were wiped out in an Israeli air strike as they tried to flee their flat in their pyjamas.

Mr El-Farra, 52, a Palestinian who has lived in Sheffield for 25 years, first heard about the attack on Facebook. He then contacted a relative in Gaza who told him the full story.

The dad-of-two’s family were sleeping when their building was hit by a first missile.

He said: “They got up and dressed in their pyjamas and they tried to run away. But as they got to the ground floor they were hit by a second rocket and killed. The others were running when the third missile was launched and it hit them.”

Among the dead are his cousin Abdul Malik, 62, and his grand-daughter Lujaine, four. Nadine, 15, Muhamm-ad, 11, Yara and Abdul Rahman, both eight, and Lujaine, four, also died.
